Kraton First RC - picked up a Kraton V2

[RoTaN]

Hey guys,


Picked up my first RC last week - the Kraton V2 after reading a lot of reviews. Bought a couple 4s batteries and had a blast with the kids.

I was wondering, is there a link I can register my Kraton at? I didn't see anything in the manual or searching google other than a form to send if there is damage.

Looking forward to building a ramp to do some good bashing

Welcome, and awesome choice on an RC! Kraton is a beast, you won't regret it. Question, do women know about shrinkage? Great avatar, big seinfeld fan here.

Nice pick up Rotan. Welcome to the forum and enjoy the Kraton with your kids.

I drive the Nero and I got my ten year old a Kraton V2. He has lots of 1/10th scales but this is his first 1/8 scale so I have him on 4S for this year ..

Great choice of RC. Had mine a couple of weeks and I can tell it's going to be pretty darn bullet proof.

What are the wheels you have on the Kraton wheelie bar?

Thanks guys! Took the Kraton out and it took a nice beating. Was jumping it down a 15 foot hill - was clearing it completely during the fall/landing and kept going without missing a beat.

Let the wife try it out too, even though she was against it because of the cost - couldn't help but notice the smile she had on her face the entire time she drove it

Those are actually Lego tires believe it or not. My son has an HPI sprint 2 Flux and I had some extra foams for the many many many tires it burns through. I glued the foam into the tire and then glued them on the wheelie bar wheels. Worked for the Nero so I did it for Olivers new V2 Kraton.

What tires are you, sorry, is your son using on the Kraton, they look good !

In that picture they are the Proline Big Joe 2s . I took them off though - they made the rear wobble at full throttle. I think they are not balanced. I have proline super swampers on now. We also have proline trencherX and Louise MT cyclones. But one thing I've learned - these tires are great for some things and not others. Snow, mud, grass and JUMPING - very good for. Speed? No chance / all they do is balloon. I got the Kraton upto 50mph in the grass though - it's just - anything over half throttle - pizza pies. My Nero is even worse.

Thank you for the answer and explanation.
